bash is more akin to cmd/batch then Powershell.

there is a TON more you can do with powershell than you can with bash. Plus object pipelines are superior to text pipelines

You can also install Powershell on Linux. So I would say Powershell is the Powershell of Linux

The real purpose of a good engineering leader is to help mentor people like this to become mature. They have talent -- they just need everything else (humility, social skills within the team, shared vision, whatever).

With good mentoring, I've seen a few of these so called "hacker" types transform after a few years. Also when you are 20 you're into one thing -- competition for the ego -- and 10 years later into something else -- collaboration for the group. Responsibility and experience are great transformers.

But someone has to actively give that feedback, and the "hacker" type has to be willing to learn, it's true. Some engineering leaders lack the courage to do so and this really is where the problem starts.
Sounds awesome! Anyone tried this?
Leaving Our Bodies Behind
My first company was an ISP. There were 4 of us. We were around 19. No business experience. No networking experience. How hard could it be, right?

I configured my first router by calling our provider and saying we'd set things up but something was wrong, and having them echo to me what they did on their side so I could "check" our side - they charged for the setup, but this way we got it for free.

We literally lived in the office for the first year, and one of my most entertaining experiences was answering the phone at 2am on a Sunday morning and the person on the other end expressing surprise that someone answered - they'd just called out of sheer desperation and expected it to ring forever.

Then there was the person who spent three hours terrorising us before it transpired he'd not connected his modem, nor turned it on, or in fact taken it out of its package - something the person talking to him found out call by call, while the rest of us tried to not audibly laugh, because surely nobody could be that stupid? (a "learning experience" - it was how I came to understand why support people ask all those really obvious "stupid" questions.

I can't make up my mind if all the network issues were the worst part, or if the support calls were.

This was 26 years ago, and I have just about gotten over the soul-sucking parts of it by now.

I even contemplated setting up a local ISP again... I don't know why.
This lead me to the following - what if you make a compost pile the size (mass) of Sun? Meaning, it won't be made of hydrogen, but rather some carbon-based molecules. I'm not sure about other atoms in these molecules, but I think carbon is stable enough not to initiate nuclear reactions. So probably fusion won't start. What then?

That’s pretty much already the case. By now Occulus only exists as a brand inside the Facebook ecosystem, only legacy Occulus accounts are allowed, everybody else uses their Facebook account to login and tie purchases too.

The same Facebook account that FB can at any time arbitrarily block and demand the owner properly ID themselves.

A situation that originally was deemed as “will never happen” when Occulus originally got acquired by FB.

At least there is also Valve to offer an alternative that’s more privacy minded. But this makes their hardware offerings more expensive by default, as the device prices can’t be subsidized by monetizing their users.

IMO, a massive investment and proliferation of fusion reactors is humanity's last hope. Assuming it isn't already too late.
This looks beautiful. I've already started using Rich in the REPL - it's definitely a nice little upgrade to get. The developer is very responsive and the project looks amazing.
>They are trading one legal authority for another, and this is agreed upon up front. Both parties agree that the code is the legal authority before entering into a contract, which is much different from evading authority after the fact.

The parties might "agree", but who cares? If they are in the US, for example, and the two parties have a smart contract that breaks US contract law, one of the parties can file a lawsuit and attempt to get their money back. You can't go to the judge and say "sorry, the code is the legal authority here".

Intresnatching
Proposals to replace GDPR with UK data protection framework
If a code error that was made that was supposedly 'dumb' wasn't caught that tells me the people behind this acted recklessly. This code error being described wasn't just dumb, it was catastrophic- locking up all the collateral. Is this collateral locked up forever, what would make Titan trade above 0? The code wasn't even audited, suggesting no care by the devs before release. Doing money transmission without a license is criminal offense- jail and fines in this case are on the table- all it takes is actual enforcement from regulators.
Agree. They own the company, success or failure is on their name. A 2-person team on brink of failure doing week or two of 18-hour days to rescue the business (and reputation to lesser extent) is reasonable to me.

By contrast, salaried folks with no equity should not be cranking out those hours, IMO.
I work for a wisp as a software engineer. I'm knowledgeable enough about our network/prices. None of the network engineers believe the numbers spacex is claiming they can do yet they can see it right in front of their eyes. The main argument is, "Well once this network actually gets any load it'll crumble." Or, "The latency is going to be through the roof." But people who live where a WISP is their only option already don't care about latency all that much.

I can't definitively say this is going to be disruptive but I can tell they're nervous. From my perspective the future of rural internet is in space.
Whoa, I didn't realize that was possible. Fascinating.
Patent Extensions Keep Some Drug Costs High
I am against smart contracts because we do not know how to write software in that way. I like how they sparked a formal verification Renaissance of sorts but that did not help much either unfortunately (if the premise is wrong, no amount of proof will save you anyway).

However, if you let all parties review the smart contract (the source is on the chain, you can check it) and agree with it's workings and sign a 'human' contract saying you do agree and then it goes wrong, I think it should be an out. We do not have proper ways to sue for misbehaving software (it happens all the time but MSFT is climbing higher and higher): this is easier to verify but we are adults here: if you agree to put money in smart contracts, you should have verified the code. And if you think the code is flawed, do not put money: otherwise do not complain afterwards. It is not that hard.
Hopefully Anytype will soon push Notion back into oblivion, where all proprietary, data-hoarding things should be.
PHP consists of an environment that can change the behavior of the program catastrophically just based on one configuration value (e.g. magic quotes). No one should be writing shell scripts using this language, especially if running on an uncontrolled machine.
I used Notion for a few months last year, and I honestly don't understand why techbros are fawning over it. You pay $4/month for... not hosting the most light-weight data you have? Maybe I'm just jaded, but Notion seems like an expensive solution to a problem that most people can solve for free.
If you are a blues fan, a good crossing over point might be someone like Kenny Burrell and his Midnight Blue album. SRV actually has a smokin cover of the first song off that album.

Edit: additionally, you might enjoy some more melodically focused players like Julian Lage. I’d highly recommend his album Gladwell as a starting point.

No, iirc that statement is for the part of the sun where fusion actually happens. Per volume, not a lot fusions happen in the plasma on the sun. The crux is that the volume of the compost heap grows order cubed to the radius, while the area through which the heat escapes grows quadratic. And the sun is like, a _really_ big compost heap.

In fusion on earth, we want to be considerably more efficient than the fusion process in the sun, as we don't have as much space to work with. ITER is already a pretty big machine.
They already know "the answer" before hearing the problem and it's the same answer every time.

I think you're underestimating the capabilities of traditional fighter jets (or even modern stealth ones) and cruise missiles.

And you're probably underestimating the costs associated with stealth paints / stealth capabilities. Its not easy to avoid modern radar systems. You've pretty much got two choices:

1. Go cheap and swarm -- Ignore stealth entirely, but you pop up on radar like a sore thumb. Which opens up your drones to a variety of automated weaponry. CIWS defense are basically radar-based aimbots that can shoot down supersonic threats like cruise missiles. I find it unlikely that a modern drone would go faster (or cheaper) than a typical rocket lobbed at Israel's Iron Dome, but think of that for a typical defense system you're trying to break these days.

2. Go expensive and stealth -- Stealth capabilities are clearly the future, but their extraordinary costs (F35 project) are well known. Furthermore, stealth capabilities make communication (radio) extremely difficult. If you emit a noise, you can be detected, so a human in the loop (ex: F35) just seems innately more reliable, since they can be "cut off" and enter radio silence for extended periods of time.

--------

Swarming the Israeli Iron Dome with many, many rockets is a strategy that seems to work on occasion. Its not a perfect air defense, so with enough rockets, it begins to miss.

But each of these dumb rockets are launched extremely cheaply: without much computer smarts at all, just flying as fast as possible to make it harder to get shot down. Once we start talking about computer systems (especially in 2021, a year where we've run out of computer chips), your costs escalate severely.

The cheap-and-swarm methodology, especially if you're not really concerned about where you hit exactly (Hamas is mostly doing this as a political / terrorism ploy), is kind of well optimized already. And I'm not entirely sure if an organization like Hamas would switch their rockets to drones in an attempt to beat Israel's Iron Dome. In fact, I'd argue that such a move would be worse than what they're already doing.
There's already plans for a new futex-based swap_to primitive, for improving userland thread scheduling capabilities. There was some work done on it last year, but it was rejected on LKML. At this rate, it looks like it will not move forward until the new futex2 syscall is in place, since the original API is showing its age.

So, it will probably happen Soon™, but you're probably still ~2 years out before you can reliably depend on it, I'd say.
While interesting, the figure you linked is from 2003. Is there an updated version that includes the last 2 decades?

Are they any faster to build than fission reactors? If not, we can as well start building fission reactors instead of having to get the technology right and then to build them. (If you insist on a type of nuclear power.)
> Whether it's useful is not important, only whether we can make money off of it

I never said that.

Emotions, morals, and use cases have no place when you look logically at what blockchain is, at it's very heart it's pure math. People certainly make money using math, but that not the point.

No matter how much people try to add their own bullshit on top of blockchain, it's human nature to measure value and use economic agents. Both math and blockchain have to same primary function, ascertaining truth, which is the most important factor in economics.
Cryptocurrency is incrediably diverse at this point, so you would have to be more specific.
I remember downloading it at my first job back in 2000 or 2001 but I didn't make much use of it. Even back then there were plenty of alternatives available. I seem to remember that I made quite heavy use of XEmacs for editing HTML and XML files back then, as well as Netscape Composer and Cooktop XML.
I love Notion's app icon. It's one of those logos that's just the first letter of the name, but it's so nicely executed, it's by far the best in type.
So does Illinois.
How Cryptocurrency Is Changing ECommerce
I work for a WISP. It is not common to have >=1Gbit and 10 times less latency compared to starlink.

> It won't generate power, but will be 70% the size of a commercial reactor.

That surprised me. At 70% of the size for $400M, I wonder why they didn't just try to build a commercial reactor in one go

Is this the a mid-step between a small demo and a full reactor? What do they do with the building after they've tested it?

I find myself saying "beware the protoduction trap" a lot because of exactly this. Get-it-out-there prototype code pushed into production roles can work great. It also can not work great and can have discontinuous failure modes. You're placing a bet that it won't fail until you somehow outpace the need to care about it, and...well, I don't love that bet when I'm the one advocating for it, if I'm advocating against it it's probably because I can see the crack and hear the rumble on the horizon.
Chic Shampoo – The Sachet Revolution in India
What do you mean by using your PIN "feels more secure". It's more secure for the retailer, but it's less secure for you.

Any time you have to enter your PIN you are putting yourself at risk of someone seeing it. It could even be a fake PIN pad, so covering with your other hand won't help. If they can then steal the card from you, they can spend freely at merchants and withdraw cash at any ATM up to 2X your daily limit (once at 23:59, once at 00:01).

If they steal your card without a PIN, they can use it contactlessly only for small transactions up to the contactless limit, and only for a limited amount before the card will stop working (if you make too many contactless transactions in a row, the bank will refuse one and demand a PIN transaction). (At least in the UK), you are not liable for the contactless transactions made after your card was stolen.
Future Jist 30
I am guessing that the Lattice ICE40LP FPGA would help a lot with data processing.
I agree of course, but I dont think that merely stating ones dislike on an internet forum will be an effective way to effect change.

So I pose the question: What actions may we take in order to help ensure a future of non-implementation of "the user is the product" systems, with a specific focus on those actions that are most likely to be the most efficacious at accomplishing the stated goal in an expedient and lasting manner?
That is not the case. At least not in postgres 13. The owner of the view only determines if RLS is bypassed or not. If the view is owned by a different user than the table (or `FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY`), then the view will evaluate RLS. RLS is bypassed for the owner of the table, superusers, and users with `BYPASSRLS` attribute.

We can test this.

```sql

create role data;
create role api;
create role bob;
create role alice;

create schema api_v1 authorization api;
create schema data authorization data;

set role data;

create table data.user_profile (
id int generated always as identity primary key,
username text,
value text
)

grant usage on schema data to api;
grant select on data.user_profile to api;

insert into data.user_profile (username, value) values
('bob', 'Bob''s First Value'),
('bob', 'Bob''s Second Value'),
('alice', 'Alice''s First Value');

create policy "Users can only see their own data"
on data.user_profile
for select using (current_user = username);

alter table data.user_profile enable row level security;

select * from data.user_profile; -- shows 3 record, both bob and alice's

set role api;

create view api_v1.user_profile as
select * from data.user_profile;

grant usage on schema api_v1 to bob;
grant usage on schema api_v1 to alice;

grant select on api_v1.user_profile to bob;
grant select on api_v1.user_profile to alice;

select current_user; -- currently api
select * from api_v1.user_profile; -- shows 0 records

set role bob;
select * from api_v1.user_profile; -- shows 2 records, both bob's

set role alice;
select * from api_v1.user_profile; -- shows 1 record, alice's.

-- both alice and bob cannot access the data schema or it's contents. RLS is respected for the api_v1 schema.

```

Does that make sense, or did I misunderstand your meaning?
I touch an OBD2 port every single day.

I should have been more specific. They may not use this information for their product, but they are privy to it. theres also no transparency to say they ever delete that data.

OBD may be read only but CANbus pins exist in the OBD2 connector, and many CANbus implementations can be accessed through the OBD2. steering, brakes, and throttle can all be remotely controlled through the CANbus in most vehicles.

there has been at least one PoC that can detonate your airbags from the OBD.

> if you call np.dot on the same underlying ndarray from multiple threads, what are the semantics?

Usually, this will be safe because np.dot only reads from its arguments, and produces a fresh new array to hold the result.

I just checked the documentation and found there is an out=argument to pass a destination array. (In any case there are other numpy functions that do modify their argument.) If you pass the same array to that parameter in two different threads then I don't know what happens. Maybe numpy locks the GIL to write its output. Maybe it produces C-style undefined behaviour (this would be my guess ... and my preference).

> I think most people want a single invocation of np.dot in a single thread to use multiple worker threads

Maybe? I'm not convinced that's what I want! But it's pretty irrelevant either way to my point; np.dot was just an example. My real point is that lots of CPU-heavy Python functions are implemented in C and release the GIL, so in practice parallelism with Python is often possible.
The line of source code cited in the post isn't immediately evident in the Iron Contracts repo:

While it's certainly true that there are plenty of legal cases that hinge on the inclusion or omission of a single comma, or a single word, or something like that, by and large the courts (and the whole system) try and sort such things out through principles such as intent and least-harm.

This is particularly the case with ownership of money. If you've put money in a bank, and the bank says "sorry, due to a programming error you can't get your money back," that's on the bank. They are legally required to try and get you your money back.

Similarly, legal contracts (as opposed to defi smart contracts) must contain certain elements to make them legally enforceable. These include such elements as capacity (the capacity of the signer to enter into a contract, which can take into account whether they can fully-understand the contract) and adequate consideration (whether the contract is blatantly unfair to one party). So a contract that seems reasonable but might have some complex edge-case that requires extreme fine-grain parsing or auditing to see how you might end up with no money may not be legally-enforceable at all.

In the defi world, it seems like you're entering into a contract that's written in code, but there's no requirement to be able to actually parse and have the capacity to understand all the code that is written in the contract (or omitted, in the case of edge-cases the programers didn't think about). This seems like it wouldn't fly in any legal contract.
I've been tempted to campaign for an OS menu at the very top and an application menu for the current application just below that. Of course, I've also considered making a desktop environment where every application gets its own virtual desktop and part of the OS menu is a scrollbox for the open applications, so maybe take my minority opinions with a grain of salt.
