Yet another +1 for Fastmail. Long time customer when I got sick of running my own IMAP/SMTP about 5+ years ago.

It has IMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV. It has a snappy and responsive web interface and their iOS app is equally as good.

They have configuration of profiles for MacOS and iOS down (I can't talk to other environments).

I have a bunch of domains doing email through there, but I run my own DNS. I had a need to configure things that Fastmail's DNS doesn't deal with (IPv6 etc) but for general use, it's great. Properly configured SPF, DKIM, DMARC, good spam filtering, easy contact managenment etc.
libjpeg supports that with a compile time option. Nobody used it because you can't abstract over bit-depth (and sometimes pixel format) without losing all performance, because it means a lot of if statements have to go inside every hot loop, so instead you have to duplicate all related code. Also, there wasn't a way to view them until HDR displays came around recently.

The main issue with implementing all of MPEG-4 is the spec is overdetermined (the same fields exist at different layers and can disagree), but also it's full of nonsense nobody cares about, like the alternate codec for animating faces only.

There's plenty of evidence in this case, just possibly not enough to pass the threshold for a successful criminal prosecution. People get fired all the time for doing things that aren't illegal, and where there is strong but non-conclusive evidence of wrongdoing. For example, if I consistently take time off for being "sick", I'll eventually be fired, even though the company obviously won't be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that I wasn't sick on the relevant days.
The concept of stream gaming was done before? I don't think anyone argued that Google couldn't technically develop a solution as good as the predecessors who have far less resources.

I don't think Google has solved the fundamental issue which is latency and home broadband infrastructure. They can handwave it with AI, ML latency algorithms and video compression algorithms, but the latency is still not competitive to conventional gaming.

It may have a devastating effect over the longer term. The relatively expensive "local things" are a reflection of the high human labour costs in what are predominantly service-oriented economies. Increasing the cost of physical goods and raw materials could have far-reaching effects across service-oriented businesses, and that in itself would make the already expensive "local things" even more expensive.

There was a study in Denmark that showed that only about 20% of a price one pays in the supermarket went to producers of the food and like 10% was spent on transport. 25% were taxes, 25% was spent on advertisements, the rest was the shop take to pay workers, location rent and the profit. I doubt in UK it is much different.

So if the transportation will be twice expensive, it will translate into price increase only of 10%.

Is there a way to selectively disable mitigations on Macs?
Yes it's well know in manufacturing management that there is a trade off between utilisation, capacity and cycle time.

Naively it looks like it's cheapest to get close to 100% utilisation by removing all slack from the system.

If you do that though you can't deal with shocks to the system and it costs you much more in the medium term. In the long term your company dies.

This is very well illustrated by John Sterman's Beer game[1]. That's aimed at supply chains in general but works well in any system you can make brittle via cost over optimisation.

This happens a lot because initially over optimisation makes accountants and managers look good to share holders. By the time the chickens have come home to roost they've moved on to another job.

"locked down" from your comment as I understand it, is just making it hard to gain root on the device.

Newport’s “achievements”, as he proudly presents as books, aren’t books but a printed product.

But still, this blog post bears a truth for me. I find it harder to sit down in a calm env. and concentrate on writing code for a prolonged period of time. Partially covid-19, remote work (and my gf) is to blame.

Regarding Murakami, I couldn’t find it interesting enough to finish a book. There are 2 types of fiction writers from my point of view:
1. Clever ones who know what they are writing *in* the process.
2. Writers who figure out what they wrote *after* the process.

And Murakami is the first kind.

The open standards don't protect from the "Big Techs". See AWS and the open-source technologies that they use. "Tech monopolies" is the too broad category to create working solutions. Some monopolies use the network effect, like Facebook, Twitter, Uber, etc. They are protected not by closed technology but by the community. Building an app like Uber is much easier than making a company like Uber. The same applies to smaller companies/services like Reddit or even HackerNews.
Social media brought in masses and masses usually have hard time separating the forest from the tree. Previously people saw through the guise of trolls easier and engaged with them less.

> It's also a fact that only few seem to demonstrate interest in creative/selfless pursuits at any point in time if you see in our history.

That's not a fact, not at all. Nearly everyone has had some creative or selfless hobby; that they didn't all change the world (and enter the history books) is quite beside the point. It's a very low view of people to take, quite superior and baseless, to be honest. Look closer.

> For most people, the worthwhile activity had been working to survive – to make ends-meet somehow. (You'd not hear people in poor places even today having these mental problems of depression/etc.)

Working to survive is no longer necessary. Only forced inequality makes it so. We have the technology and resources to provide for everyone. The vestigial cultural propaganda involved in making people afraid to not work is a major reason why people tweet blind bullshit, instead of living fulfilling lives.

I agree that meaningful activity is important; but have a read of Bullshit Jobs to see the kind of busy-work people are given. Look around and realise how bad inequality has gotten, for no other reason than because Extreme Wealth is a vicious feedback loop in unrestricted capitalist society.

> the struggle for the basic stuff, which used to consume one's life for most people, is simply no longer there.

It seems you're invoking that horrible and untrue myth; that creativity comes from suffering and deprivation. It's not true.

Holding on to anger, suffering, greed, pain etc, is not necessary to be creative, fulfilled, free.

> A conditioned mind without meaningful activity is a devil workshop. It rejoices in negativity, gossips etc naturally then. Social media has given a platform to such mind and with follows/retweets/likes as added bonus that give social justification and encouragement of its negativity.

You're not entirely wrong, but I don't see how you can seriously propose "working to survive" as a superior alternative. We are very luck that Da Vinci, Tesla, Fuller, Ramanujan, Van Gogh (...insert literally millions of more examples here) didn't need to "work to survive".

Not sure if I would put Suttons book on "Application aimed". It have a fair share of theory too.

And a second skim of the (preliminary) document above just confirms that the "theory" you speak of is not that far from what already exist on course lectures (Such as David Silver's lectures) and Suttons book. This one just have a crap ton of mathematical notation and way less text than other books. (although I assume those text will be added later)

When a lot of RL papers already spend crap-ton of their content on mathematical theory, and proofing, while if you peek at the actual implementation, have a lot of unmentioned tinkering (normalize this, hyperparam opt that, subsample this) and if those things are removed, have very modest-at-best result, I don't think a paper that crap out more math notation is needed or good for the field.

I made the comment because I don't see the point of adding another learning material, theory focused or not, when there's better avenue of exploration to make the field of RL easier to access/understand

I don't disagree, but lets be honest. We want free ReadHat without support. That is what CentOS was. And this is what Rocky Linux is.

Still not sure, how long term sustainable it is, because if you want paying option you just go back to RHEL, so whats is there left for Rocky. They seem to have plenty of sponsors, so lets hope I am just being a pessimist.

I have started to slowly migrate away from RHEL, to ubuntu server. But their recent push for snaps even on servers is annoying.

I tried raw Debian, but honestly I still prefer Ubuntu server.

Have to try NixOS, and other similar.
Regular key rotation is a best practice that improves security.

Even if the underlying ciphers have not changed, the value of a stolen key will decay when there is a planned sunset. In the lack of a rotation strategy, a stolen key is a gift that keeps on giving.

OpenBSD introduced the signify command, and a 6-month key rotation, that will allow trust when the OS is downloaded over insecure channels (cleartext FTP and http).

> Why the hell would I branch more? Just to get better at git? Sorry, I'm sorry that I work on a small team! Maybe I should go back to CVS?

I have multiple branches on the go in a one-person project. I find that very useful. But if you don't, maybe you should go back to SVN? Using git without merging between branches seems like you're making your life complicated for no gain - like using a distributed system framework to run a single-node system.
I think it’s because anyway there is space under the cockpit and that’s structural. So there is no reason nor incentives to make those machines smaller while sacrificing fixability.

It’s either that or seats or kerosene. There is not enough room for seats, and it’s not an acceptable place to store kerosene (too dangerous in case of crash and can cause stability issues as the volume of kerosene decreases while flying).

I find it hard to parse your intent in saying that. All books fit the definition of "printed product".

Probably not, since South Korea maintains pretty good relations with its neighbors. South Korea (as well as the rest of the world) doesn't see the U.S. anymore as a rational partner, but as something to be managed with caution. North Korea is unironically seen as a more predictable and reliable enemy than the U.S. is seen as a reliable ally. Nobody is happy about this, but that's the reality.

Human Augmentation – The Dawn of a New Paradigm
This and the first few replies to it feel like they're coming from bean counters, not engineers. Who reads HN? I mean anyone can, but who's the core audience. I'm confused. Shouldn't the top voted thread be about the tech and the engineering behind it, and debating whether it's worth funding or not based on that, not based on things that are mostly the concern of business people. Is it that most engineers today have MBAs or are MBA wannabes? or well roundedness? But this focus on business metrics is not well roundedness, for an engineer, IMO.
That just switches the issues to slightly different subsets of people, and also bars trans people from using bathrooms that match their identity.
> Why should landlords maintain their profit margins over this period while tenants who lost their jobs lose all their savings and disposable income?

They shouldn't, but the fifth and fourteenth amendments exist and retroactively voiding the debt (including forced settlement at a reduced state-judged-as-fair rate looks a lot like either a taking or a deprivation of property without substantive due process, so it is, at best, a magnet for extended and uncertain litigation if anyone isn’t happy with it, and someone won't be; full-value settlement is the fastest way to resolve the adverse impacts of the crisis on renters and landlords, preventing a wave of evictions and/or a wave of ruin for innocent landlords. Is it perfectly just? No. But its almost certainly the resolution that deals with the immediate problem in a way which has the least risk of being derailed by litigation.
If that ain't the way to sell something, I don't know what is!

A basic form of low-speed self-driving would be automated valet parking. Drop people off or pick them up at the entrance, then go park far away.

If there was a common communication standard, the vehicles could also park much more tightly than is done in a normal parking lot. You don't need to keep empty space behind each car when you can coordinate the parked cars to move and clear a path. My guess is that you could park almost twice as many cars in the same space.

The combination of reducing parking lot size and freeing people from walking to/from the lot would open up many interesting options for increasing density and walkability in commercial areas.

It seems to me that almost all optimisations (and especially the accumulation of optimisations that we want to get more performance), that all optimisations are going to be vulnerable in some way to timing attacks.

After all an optimisation is designed to alter the timing. If all actions must have the same timing, optimisations fail.

Do we simply offload any sesnitive processing to specialised chips? The silicon wafer seems to be developing vulnerablities like a network.

Interesting note: Packaged versions of GPG2 did not support ED25519 keys at the time this was written.

Additionally some major openpgp packages (notably Golangs) does (or did not) support ED25519 at the time of writing either.[0]

This caused the death of a bit of software I was working on because one engineer insisted on using his ED25519 key which my software could not cope with and I was not smart enough to fix it in the upstream module.

The big investment managers really don't own anything as the assets are not really theirs.

Is Big Tech harming children you love?
We all are aware of that. It has been widely publicised for decades by those who expected that, by making people aware, they would change their spending habits.

They didn't. Nobody cares. And that has to be the end of that argument.
In my experience, software support is pretty wide. I do have an RSA key in case the ed25519 isn't accepted but I think it's been a year since I've had to use it.

The much nicer part about Ed25519 is that you can realistically type it out over a serial console or over a monitor-keyboard without access to copy-paste directly. They're small and fast and convenient.

In addition to that, the cryptography behind Ed25519 is much simpler to implement than RSA without causing massive side channel leaks, so that is one less thing to worry about.

In terms of Anti-QC Resistance, I wouldn't worry about it until we complete the current qc-resistant crypto competition, which should give us a nice set of primitives to use.
