This could be great for their porn business. How many people don't subscribe to OnlyFans because it shows up on their bank statement and it means 'I pay people to make porn'? This could add the degree of plausible deniability needed (for banks, spouses, etc.) to make people much more comfortable.
Why would you come to work to a country with super high taxes?

Because even with the "super high taxes" you'll probably still earn more than you would in your home country of Honduras or Mozambique or wherever labor will be imported from. People are crossing the border today for a chance to illegally pick produce or work low level construction. Making that easier will only make it more popular. Plus adding a clear path to Citizenship (say after working 7-10 years on a non-UBI visa) will only make it easier to attract people.

As to who gets UBI what happens when you leave a country with UBI, that is an interesting question. My initial reaction would be that you can only get UBI if you are a citizen or permanent resident AND live in the country (say a minimum of 4-6 month out of the year). If you emigrate you lose UBI, but that is a separate discussion.
In the future we might have a fourth common media format besides pictures, videos and audio: GAN records.
I used to have a cheap machine with 4GB of RAM and an HDD. When I got some money, I went for an SSD instead of buying more RAM. The difference was significant. I happily worked on that laptop (with 4GB) for another 6 months (thanks to the SSD for making it bearable) before upgrading RAM. When in doubt, buy more SSD, not RAM :)

This is a project I've been working on while I've been unemployed and suffering from a crippling depression.

Source code is available at: https://github.com/raver1975/sunshine.blue

This is written mostly in Java, with some JavaScript for the HTML app. It uses the very awesome LIBGDX framework and runs on four platforms: standalone app, Android, IOS, and HTML. You can see the HTML app at https://sunshine.blue and the android app is available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klemstineg.... No IOS distribution yet.

Sunshine.blue uses the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) for storage and distribution of the scenes. Also when a scene is saved or loaded, the address is shared to all the other instances of the app using pub/sub.

Loading a gif on the HTML app takes a LONG time, be patient.

Here's something that boggles my mind. I'm not sure I can do a very good job explaining it. I wanted to include a scripting language, so I managed to fit a Java bytecode classloader. You can load and run arbitrary code from the network. The mind boggling part is that for the HTML app, the Java code is transpiled to JavaScript, but the Java classloader still works the same! I can't wrap my mind around that. You can load Java code that is able to modify it's own runtime, while running in a different language, what!

I am autistic, and I've been suffering from a severe depression for the last three years.

You actually need 2x whatever you have if you want to still have it if the drive its in dies or the data is destroyed by malice or mischance. Say you have 3TB of data now and may acquire more later. Your cheapest SSD option I see for sale on newegg.com is 4TB for $322. Going all SSD all the time requires one to spend $644.

Storing the same data on a hard drive can be had for about $140. Now the SSD is much safer for your data, performs far better, and you absolutely ought to want the SSD but its not a small difference once you start talking about storing more than your OS. Spinning hard drives as OS drives ought to be completely dead by now but vendors are absolutely selling machines configured with them new in box all day every day. Seemingly more so on desktop or all in one models.
I am completely serious, actually. Surprised to see it downvoted. The only underlying assumption is that I'm using default/mainstream tools (macOS, JetBrains IDEs or XCode or Google Docs).

Perhaps we've got it the wrong way round, and rather than asking how Open Source contributors can be paid more, what about asking how everything can be cheaper? This is in fact what's happening as Open Source is deflationary. It's the reason that various central banks round the world can print so much money without the inflation rate getting as high as one would expect. I contribute to a few Open Source projects, and that's the approach I favour.
The Mac remains the Mac. That is not changing. That has been repeated by Apple executives publicly many times. Part of the Mac's heritage is that you can turn off the guard rails and take control of your system, including installing things like kernel extensions. These are not things most users should need to do - secure by default is very important - but they remain possible.

Others have documented the engineering that went into a new boot system for the M1 to make multi-boot and custom kernels possible. Engineering that would be pointless if no one were expected to use it.

and I guess it answers my question from that thread - Google still doesn't get platforms.
Rebasing leads to either having long stretches of non-compiling commits in history or giant non-bisectable commits. E.g. you added a method call on your feature branch, that method was renamed in master while you were working on your feature. If you merge then your commits still compile and I can use automated `git bisect` the way it's intended. If you rebase then your commits don't compile and I can't bisect through commits on your feature branch. If you squash then your whole feature development becomes a single monster commit and I can't bisect through it.

I agree with having as many commits as possible be compilable, but that's not the sole criterion, because there's a tension between that and having granular history: if you squash the whole history of the repo into a single commit then that means 100% of commits are compilable, but it's still a bad move. Conversely, a non-compiling commit in between two compiling commits is not a big problem (you just make sure your git bisect script skips non-compiling commits) - what really matters is keeping the diff between two successive compiling commits as small as possible. IME the best way to achieve that is never rewriting history.
Position based dynamics is far more than just Verlet integration though. The meat of the algorithm has to do with dealing with various constraints (which is done by sequentially projecting positions related to each constraint while adhering to both the constraint and Newton’s laws (momentum conservation). PBD’s main strength is that it can incorporate various types of constraints at once with relatively simple code and good performance.

It isn't clear if Haswell has this optimization. As an easy test you could run the zero-fill-bench linked in the post and check the fill0 vs fill1 numbers. If they are the same, Haswell probably never had this optimization in the first place.

Interestingly, Murakami actually wrote (at least) his early works in English, after he found that writing in his native Japanese he was channeling too much other Japanese authors as well as the classical style of the time. His English was more plain, so he ended up with this relatively simple style that is now his trademark. He translated them back to Japanese for publication.

(source: Murakami wrote a couple of essays on his writing career)
> # The algorithm is stored with the signature. > This is slightly less bad than above, but still bad

So I just also realized that for the subkey scheme, it matters even less, because the algorithm is effectively part of the subkey packet.

It's not encoded in there, but how high is the chance that a different algorithm would produce the same signature for it?

We really just need the algorithm field to be able to determine how to parse that, but it reinforces itself by virtue of the subkey being signed by the primary key itself.
This is very noble. But many people grew up in (relative) poverty - like me. I was studying hard, working hard, making compromise in order to move up. Now I am doing alright.

Now it is my time to consume: drive a nice car, buy things I always wanted, travel a lot.

I am honest to you, my opinion is not noble as yours: I want to consume, I want my things cheap, because I would not be able to afford otherwise.

There are billions like me on this planet who did not grow up in a nice middle class family in a 1st world. Those people want to move up and consume such as the Western middle class did until recently. The new generation that grew up in a very stable, rich world and had everything suddenly realises that they do not need consumption and hence talks noble things.

But you cannot and must not force it to all those people who did not grow up in fanciness.

Moving is the only the solution.

I’m also from an EU country, and I was living in a city where no kind of innovation is possible.

I moved to the capital, and started working for a startup and later a multinational company. Maybe it’s not Silicon Valley but there is enough innovation to make the people more opened to risk and opportunities.

People there is much more professional, have more resources, and don’t worry about you (no “little town” mentality).

I have learned more (from others) in half the time in the capital than in my original city. There are issues when living in a big city but it’s worth it for me.

No one loses their house because the market crashes, they lose their house if interest rates are raised heavily and they have a variable rate mortgage, or if the subsequent economic turmoil wipes out their job.

This line of discussion has got a lot of weird perceptions on what a housing crash actually means. But unless you're holding investment property, then you can't lose your house in a crash without somthing else happening (and in 2008 plenty of people just defaulted on their loans, then rebought their houses at the true market value and ate the credit rating problem as the better option).

That's not to say their aren't significant follow on effects, but to reiterate the core point: it's not a Ponzi scheme if you own as a result of the transaction a physical product with utility (and plenty of people do in fact own their house's outright: no housing crash will make the title deed be magically not yours, the corruption and incompetence of the US banking and court system notwithstanding - again see foreclosures in 2008).
These were optional and additional to the official ceremony and open to anyone who identified as an ally of a group if they were outside a group.

Long time Murakami fun here, have read all his books and recently re-read the Rat Trilogy (Wild Sing + Pinball, A Wild Sheep Chase, Dance Dance Dance).

It is not equivalent. The US presence in the west pacific is welcomed by almost all the countries in the region, including Vietnam.

All of the countries supporting the US presence want to see the current rules-based order continue, and are alarmed by the CCP's illegal territory grabs.

There is no analogy with US engagement in the Middle East, Afghanistan, or the Vietnam War. That the US is a long way away is also not significant - several of its largest trading partners are in the region, and it has long-standing treaty obligations to many countries.

US security guarantees have served non-proliferation goals since the second world war, and everyone wins from this: lower investments in military, less risk of rogue nuclear weapons, simpler strategic calculations than if every small country had nuclear weapons.

We just sold South Korea a bunch of actual weapons so I don’t think these could-be weapons are going to attract too much controversy. And if you think there’s some actual weaponry among the could-be weapons technology, well... Take a look around the neighborhood. Maybe that’s the point?

(I don’t think this is true; I am of the belief that the hidden secret within most companies, regardless of size or industry, is that they’re way more boring and way less sophisticated than they would like to appear.)

Tech companies and studios are determining what's presented to the masses and it's not entirely if even primarily concerned with what makes money.

For example, PewDiePie trended ~40x more in Canada and even non-English countries than he did in the US - a difference that was not always the case, and resulted from a choice made by YouTube for whatever reason. PewDiePie makes YouTube a lot of money.

Although I'm not entirely convinced Google's reason is pushing their ideology. They may simply be planning for a time when 230 is reformed and they are held responsible for content or cannot censor based on ideology, in either case resulting in them purging most user-generated content and leaving only mainstream, company-backed content.
Not a perfect comparison, but I have a Windows 10 box I built with a small M2 NVMe SSD boot drive, but a lot of apps -- including notably Steam games, OneDrive, and the browser Downloads folder -- runs off a larger 7200rpm hard drive. I've never felt any slowness and everything is blazing fast. It's got 16GB RAM, though.

I know a lot of cheap machines have 5400rpm hard drives, I wonder if 7200rpm+ drives will offer a better experience. Also what role RAM plays in user experience.

> There are some cases where git can delete the branch safely, which I think occurs either when the feature branch has only a single commit, or when the feature branch can be applied on top of main without a rebase, but I haven't exactly determined it.

FWIW: it occurs when the feature branch was based on the tip of master (because no-one else has committed to master since you branched/since you rebased onto master) - in this case rebasing your feature branch onto master is a no-op and the commits that go into master have the same hashes as they had on your feature branch.
C++/AMP (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/parallel/amp/cpp-amp-ov...) is something along those lines. I dunno if it strictly satisfies your "intrinsic to the language" requirement - you still have to explicitly request GPU processing by using the appropriate parallel_* algorithms and restrict(amp) - but it's intrinsic in a sense that compiler takes a C++ lambda and compiles it to run on the GPU.

But I don't think that you could reasonably make something that just automatically sends any random routine to the GPU, or at least not efficiently. The processing model is just inherently different.

It's closer to 16 years, for OpenSSH [1].

That's broken in an amusing way. But speaking of broken things, gnome-keyring didn't support ECC for SSH the last time I've checked (a few years ago), and was/is breaking GPG too [2]. Then there are servers with old systems not supporting Ed25519 (it was added in OpenSSH version 6.5, just in 2014 [3]). The situation with smart card support wasn't quite clear the last I've checked, either.

Besides, ECC was thought to be more resistant to quantum computing attacks, but not anymore (and seems to be an easier target at regular key sizes, actually) [4], so it lost some of the appeal.

Ed25519 still seems nice, but perhaps one shouldn't hurry to switch to it -- especially if the software support isn't great, and/or there are other difficulties.

For reference why I don't follow, the two word approach to determine the algorithm and then be able to parse the base64 directly into a struct are easy.

like in C++, I can

std::string algo, encoded;

in >> algo >> encoded;

if (algo == ed25519)
base64_decode(encoded, ed25519_pointer);
return std::move(ed25519_pointer);
else if (algo == ed448)
base64_decode(encoded, ed448_pointer);
return std::move(ed448_pointer);

Where the _pointer are std::unique_ptr of Ed25519Signature and Ed448Signature which are each subclasses of Signature, and the return type hence std::unique_ptr<Signature>.
Isn't that something that Mono had for ages?
Sure, I’m not against crowdfunding research, as long as there is a clear reason for it. For example, too much budget directed to covid is hurting other perfectly valid areas? Fine. Or, someone has a perfectly good research plan, but failed to compete in the usual arena? Fine, too. But there is also a big potential for pseudo-science to be funded in this manner if it’s not 100% clear why. Especially if the reasons sound somewhat like conspiracy theories.

Amateur economist observations: the "pandemic bailout" is booting up the economy. Suddenly now people have money, and with a Democratic administration that isn't trying to drown government in a bathtub. Businesses that were wary of expanding because of the uncertain economy may have also thrown caution to the wind, because hey, pandemic money!

There's probably also a lot of pent-up demand, as well as people who suddenly now have some savings and a new-found YOLO attitude because they didn't eat out and fly all over the place the last year and a bit, and want to enjoy life, because who knows when the Epsilon variant will hit...
