I'm on the Mac side, and I wanted to reinstall macOS. I messed up the hard drive wipe and ended up breaking the chain of trust. That meant Apple could no longer guarantee the correctness of my install, and no longer allowed my laptop to decrypt my data to reach the login screen directly. I had to input the password for my login at an earlier step during boot, which comes with a litany of small caveats.

I'm sure Microsoft hopes to achieve something similar here at some point: secure boot would give them enough trust to decrypt an install upon boot all the way to the login screen.
Microsoft has clarified on Twitter of all places that TPM 2.0 isn't the only requirement. It must be 8th Gen Intel or 2nd Gen Ryzen or newer regardless of whether it has a TPM.
That's not a viable option, as I've explained many times. If you (or anyone) want to read some of those explanations, many are here:

The issue is that the social media platforms specifically target silencing Palestinian content. Both Twitter and Facebook attributed it to technical bugs [1] [2] while they kept hiding the content.

You've provided nothing suggesting Wikileaks was offered the RNC hack and chose not to publish it.
I haven't met him. You aren't the first person who has, who has said that.

But personality aside, I don't think it's reasonable to charge him with espionage and treachery. He can't be a traitor, because he's never been a citizen - he owes no loyalty. And he's no spy - he just reported the information that was given to him.

There are accusations that he failed to "redact". The fact is that a Guardian journalist that Assange trusted with the decryption key for a large part of the dump - a certain Luke Harding <spit>, published the decryption key. Assange felt compelled to publish the whole dump, so that vulnerable people would know that Harding had exposed them, so that they could protect themselves.

I think the extent to which the Guardian betrayed Assange is going to take a long time to come out.
Can It be a story I was involved in but I didn't do it?

I used to work for a major university as a student systems admin. The only thing that was "student" about it was the pay-- I had a whole lab of Sun and SGI servers/desktops, including an INCREIDBLE 1TB of storage-- we had 7xSun A1000's (an array of arrays) if memory serves.

Our user directories were about 100GB at the time. I had sourced this special tape drive that could do that, but it was fidgety (which is not something you want in a backup drive admittedly). The backups worked, I'd say, 3/4ths of the time. I think the hardware was buggy, but the vendor could never figure it out. Also, before you lecture me, we were very constrained with finances, I couldn't just order something else.

So I graduated, and as such had to find a new admin. We interviewed two people, one was very sharp and wore black jeans and a black shirt-- it was obvious he couldn't afford a suit which would have been the correct thing to wear. The other candidate had suit, and he was punching below his weight. Over my objections, suit guy gets hired.

Friday night, my last day of employment I throw tapes into the machine and start a full L0 backup which would take all weekend to complete.

Monday morning I get a panicked phone calls from my former colleagues. "The new guy deleted the home directories!"

The suit guy literally, had in his first few hours destroyed the entire labs research. All of it. Anyways, I said something to the effect of, "Is the light on the AIT array green or amber?"

"Green."

"You're some lucky sons of bitches. I'll be down in an hour and we'll straighten it out."
The guidelines require assumption of good faith. So, if we look at the same evidence and I find it lacking, your first goto assumption should not be "well, you have a cognitive bias while I am free of such".

> reflexively assuming anything from the government is a lie

While true, this is a non-sequitur. "The government" is not a monolith. Some in "the government" insist that Russia hacked the DNC, usually Democrats, while others in "the government" insist that it's nonsense

While it's true that Europe has a few cities that are significantly more dense then new York, your phrasing makes it sound like the average town is more dense then NY is... And that's not the case

I don't know the exact number, but there are very few cities in Europe with a density higher then NY (10,716.36 people/km2), and i'm pretty sure they're all in France, Greece and Italy
Everything is relative. To me, and a lot of people I know who grew up in small towns, 175,000 people certainly isn't "small".

I didn't read your link, but the "thrust" in thrust to weight ratio generally refers to the force that the engine produces. Therefore, it isn't a brilliant analogy to compare the thrust of a helicopter rotor (which does get all its power from the engine) to the thrust of an airplane propeller.

The propeller doesn't contribute materially to the lifting force on an aircraft, while the rotor of the helicopter provides practically all the lifting force on the helicopter.

Both machines need to (somehow) generate lift equal to their weight to stay airborne. The airplane just does this by moving a static wing through the air, which is a much more efficient way of doing it. Its engine/propeller isn't even immediately required to move the wing through the air; once airborne, the aircraft can fly downwards at an angle without engine power to maintain its speed.

You'd say that a helicopter uses "powered lift" while an aircraft does not.
I agree with your point however it just goes to reinforce that part of the failure of teams is that it kind of does a lot of things but it does all those things really badly. If they had some notion of a product vision, some focus, some opinions and executed on those with a users first attitude then it might not be in such a sorry state and it would probably be a whole lot easier to deliver great native experiences. IMHO a big part of the problem is this idea of just throwing features at applications without designing an actual product that seems to be extremely popular but always dreadful. Do less and deliver excellence, don’t do everything half arsed and throw more adverts at the resulting problem.
These were claims made in court, during formal hearings. They weren’t disputed, and as such, they are part of the official court record and are worth more than random hearsay.

The US’ repsponse (as quoted) was that these allegations were “wholly irrelevant.” That doesn’t sound like a denunciation or denial to me.
I've seen it personally. Totally brazen, no attempt to hide it. Two teenage girls, one had clearly done it before, the other had not and was nervous. They just openly loaded up their bags, walked out the front door and got on the bus. The clerks have apparently been instructed not to intervene. The guy at the counter didn't bat an eye. I'd go so far as to say "studiously ignored them". This was at CVS on Mission and 30th. Shoplifting has been around forever, but I've never seen it like this. It looked exactly like the video. I walked out after them. The girl who was nervous thought they were getting busted. The one who had done it before walked with the confidence of someone who knows nobody is coming after her.

That being said most people wait in line and pay for their purchases like civilized folk. I'm happy to pay, but when the line is long I get frustrated that those girls don't have to follow the rules like everyone else does.
I dunno, replacing it was exactly the vibe I got from the Facebook people when my employers sent us to a Facebook dev conference in London.

Throw in in scale, dot, angle etc and the functional style would be hard to reason about for me, I think your imperative example is more explicit and you can sprinkle a bunch of console log's between the lines.

I think pure functional programming works best when there is no state. So move the state out from the program. Only use local buffers if you need for performance...

The order of things is very important so make your coding life easier by making sure the are no concurrent state - like TCP for networking and single threaded business logic.

For example in a chat app, buffer text in a textarea, but when a user hit "send" don't render the message before it has been received by the server, that way everyone connected to the server will see the messages in the same order.

The more possible state a program can have the more you will benefit from testing.
If you're not the type to buy shit, at some point they'll figure out to stop making ads for your type.
Exactly.

It isn't like walls are 8'2" high. There's a great deal of standardization built into modern home design.
Please bear in mind that I don’t mean the following in a cynic way. Damage from storms is horrible, and I feel for the families losing their homes every year.

There was a tornado just a few days ago in the Czech Republic (not far from where I live), and as far as I can see, houses did lose their roofs, or the shingles at least, but the structures remained mostly intact. Many houses have basements in which people could hide in relative safety. Five people died unfortunately, not sure how many of those were in their homes at the time. But I think those rather sturdy houses made of bricks did infact save a lot of lives, and prevented many more from totally losing their home.

To me it feels deeply illogical to build a house basically made of light wood frames when I know a hurricane can blow it away while I‘m inside of it. I‘m not sure about earthquakes, we have them of course, but they are less severe than in other areas in the world.
Even less recently than that. As a critique[1] from 1999 of QuickTime 4.0 puts it:

"The new interface represents an almost violent departure from the long established standards that have been the hallmark of Apple software. Ease of Use has always been paramount to Apple, but after exploring the QuickTime 4.0 Player, the rationale behind Apple's recent 'Think Different' advertising campaign is now clear."

I worked with them twice and loved it. But three times I've built my own house and passed them over.

By my math, it makes sense to spend on a really good envelope like SIPs or a very efficient HVAC like ground source heat pumps - but buying the best of both is only for bragging rights and never pays off. Pick one or the other to go all out on and your bills won't be that much different if the other is just above average.

The downside of spending extra on anything that isn't seen by the buyer is that they done want to pay extra for it. To bring it back around to SIPs, if two similar houses are for sale, nobody picks the more expensive one because it has SIPs. (ok, not nobody, maybe I would)

2. Odds that he believed he was crippled, when he was slowly recovering and the experience incidentally allowed him to "relearn" motor control.

3. Odds that SARS-CoV-2 caused a temporary change in neuromotor control incidentally to damage/remodeling elsewhere.

It's not apartheid because Palestinians are not the majority. Sheikh Jarrah was bought by Jews before the 48s war and judges simply enforce the owners right to their own properties. There's no rule saying if you happen to build on someone else's land you get to keep it.

Jerusalem Arabs get Israeli citizenship and all the rights derived from it. They just don't get the right to incite for violence as they have shown again and again it leads to terrorism.

These Arabs who cry about being a victim have more rights than any Arabs in neighboring countries, where they aren't even allowed to walk outside as a woman without head covering, and speaking up against the regime is a capital offense.
Of course I can’t guarantee it, no one can.

Windows 11 will not install on any PC older than Intel 8th Gen or Ryzen 2nd Gen
Misinformation and scarcity of quality information on social media platforms was bound to happen when these platforms hit critical mass. Moderating SM is damn near impossible to do effectively. It is also easy to game SM. From fake clicks/views (bots) to old accounts used for astroturfing etc, the information market is not at a level playing field.

And since they are all run on some form of hyper-intelligent ML algorithm, none of it from a user perspective is intuitive anymore.

The bigger risk in my opinion is how SM and use of it on digital devices has impacted human behavior. More specifically, psychologically. Dopamine hits and instant gratification must have rewired our brains in the past ~2 decades.
Best guess is that win 11 will require full disk encryption at some point. With both secure boot and tpm Microsoft will be able to lock down windows in ways they simply couldn't before.

What CPUs have TPMs?
It's very probable that Windows 11 will run on your P51. You may have a warning advising you to stay on Windows 10, but it will fit the hard floor so you will be able to upgrade regardless.

IIRC the hard minimal req different from Win 10 is a TPM, 64 bits >= dual core, I think UEFI + secure boot, and WDDM >= 2.0. I just checked on a Kaby Lake and I have everything needed.

The published list of processors is probably for the soft floor and/or for OEMs.

Now, knowing MS and especially the situation in regard with some processors following the Win7 -> 10 migration, there is always the risk they fuck up the support even more for unlisted processor, voluntarily or not...
We are now at the point where 2013 MacBooks have more support than 2017 Windows laptops, and where Microsoft's own $3,499 Surface Studio 2 which you can purchase today will be unsupported in four years. Didn't see that coming.
Something doesn't add up. The gov officials have fairly complete data on climate change and yet they don't act. When the coronavirus pandemic was an imminent treat, the gov shut down the economy. Now, when the global warming is supposedly going to wipe out the planet in ten years, the gov acts as if it's not a big deal. It's even going to allow the economy to fully reopen by end of year, which means more needless driving and more emissions.
Be glad you live in the US and not in the EU. Otherwise your salary will be at least 5x less for the same job as a software developer.
Long before social media, most movies, TV shows and the like in the US came out of California and New York. These are very urban places and I spent a lot of my life feeling kind of like "I must be doing it wrong" because my life didn't seem to match up with what I was seeing in popular media.

I eventually concluded that for most of America, what we see on TV and in movies doesn't match our lives.

I think the internet is actually an opportunity to give push back against that and better develop local or regional identifies elsewhere and give them a voice.

I think genetics is actually the easy part. A few dozen or so people, selected for strong health, probably contain enough genetic material in their groins to start a colony. More would doubtlessly be better, but I think such things have been done by humans on earth before. Frozen eggs/sperm and women willing to be surrogate mothers help a lot too; you wouldn't need artificial womb technology, necessarily.

The hard part I think is "playing factorio IRL" on a planet we weren't evolved to cope with. Bootstrapping industry sufficient even to create additional shelters would be very challenging. Maybe we could practice this on Mars.
The problem is that construction schedules are NP hard. And that optimization is expensive due to market efficiency for labor.
The use of bricks over wood can't be due to population density because the practice goes back hundreds of years.

I think it is partly due to tradition, and partly due to climate differences.

I think it's easier to think of inverted flight as normal flight for a negative AoA. If the airfoil is symmetric -- as almost all aerobatic aircraft's are -- then it's functionally identical and inverted flight becomes a coordinate system "trick".

My favourite two "explanations" of flight are 1) dP/dt for air is greater down than up; and 2) Kelvin's circulation theorem, but alas that one is not very pub-friendly...

We worked for Flanders radio and television (site was one of Flanders biggest radio stations).
The site was a angularjs Frontend with a CMS backend.

The 40x and 80x pages fetched content from the backend to show the relevant message (so editors can tweak it).
The morning they started selling tickets for Tomorrowland I deploy the frontend breaking the js fetching a non existing 5x page, looping to doing this constantly.
in a matter of seconds the servers were on fire and I was sitting sweating next to the operations people. Luckily they were very capable and were able to restore the peace quite quickly.

And also (other radio station) deleting the DB in production.
And also (on a Bank DB2) my coworker changing the AMOUNT in all rows of cash plans in stead of in 1 row (and OR and braquets and trust you know).
Thermal mass as a tool is so very under utilized. When it's considered, it's often only on a 24hr cycle. As you point out, the 365 day cycle may be even more important.

Well they say automated systems did it, could be. Especially if the social media teams or other supports from Israel are constantly reporting (violent) content, then that content would be flagged/deleted etc.
As opposed to encouraging polymorphic code (a la haskell, java), which is fast to compile and provides better type safety.

(Yes, I know neither javac nor ghci are particularly fast, but that doesn't detract from the general point.)
Everyone knows and accepts that. They just don't really want those houses.
> Did you mean to write "Say you have a source of A, and a way of turning an A into a B. An operation that uses these two inputs to produce a source of B is a monad"?

No. That would be the Functor concept explained in TFA. A Monad is specifically what I wrote.

> And combining the "source of A" with a function that converts A's into B's, a concationation or composition of functions, or a way of currying.

Yes, pretty much. See the article (where one of the main points is specifically that the functor concept is not a highly complex thing. Just a name for a kind of thing - an abstraction).

> What exactly do you consider a "source"?

That's exactly the point where the "genericness" of the concept (consider: it originates from category theory) precludes discussing it in more specificity. It could be a Maybe<A> (std::optional in C++), it could be a List<A>, it could be a PotentialFutureUserInput<A> (aka IO in Haskell), it could be a (C#) Enumerable... Anything that "wraps" (in any sense) another type. A functor allows you to apply a function that transforms the inner type into another without leaving the wrapper. A monad allows you to apply a function to the inner type, transforming it into a different now wrapped type, with the monad implementation taking care of "flattening" the wrappers. I will avoid the attempt to come up with an example, seeing as the article also criticizes the abundance of bad monad examples.

Here, I've written a C++20 concepts version of Monad. Well, I hope I did. But even if correct, it's just not something C++ can express well, much less use well: Since functions are not first-class citizens, you can't spell "a function from A to M<B>" in a way the compiler can deduce. That's why you need the extra template argument F and corresponding constraint FAMB.
