This natural desire to cut corners by locking down devices will be mitigated by right to repair laws.

With that said, it always irks me when someone suggests regulation as a solution to misconduct by large corporations and someone chimes in "But they'll just misbehave in some other way."

If the entity that is misbehaving has changed the way that they're misbehaving in response to your regulation that means that your regulations worked and that you merely need to continue regulating the offender.
That's an interesting idea: something like DefinitelyTyped, but instead of type definitions for npm packages it provides selectors for URLs. Main challenge there would be organising the moderation, I suppose.
Liberals are busy trying to explain that it's not even what Republicans are describing because they're busy blasting lies about what it even is all over their captive media.

Nobody is teaching CRT. Nobody is going to. The outrage is completely manufactured by right wing propaganda as part of their "America Uncancelled" theme. Which is really just a revival of 60's culture wars.

Conservatives don't realize (or are willfully ignorant) that the vast majority of their media is driven top down by right wing billionaires and leaders of the Republican party. Their talking points are carefully molded before being broadcast on primary channels like Fox News and Trump's email chains. Then everyone else copycats. That's the only reason it seems like all the big name conservatives are talking about it. Because they always parrot each other's talking points. Not because CRT is anything but an obscure legal theory nobody had ever heard of before 4 months ago.

Liberals aren't talking about implementing it. They're trying to explain it's not what right wing media says it is. Just like this teachers union, the reaction of trying to explain the truth behind the lies is twisted into "liberals want everyone to learn CRT"

Sure it's not "the norm" but personally I run a Poudriere[0] server and build all my own software packages. One server syncs the FreeBSD Ports collection and downloads the needed software source distfiles, but then none of my other machines/jails are allowed to install software from anywhere outside my own network. A lot of them don't get any Internet access at all.

That still has nothing to do with in-app analytics though.

SafeDrop: Detecting Memory Deallocation Bugs of Rust Programs
"...To guarantee precision and scalability, we leverage a modified Tarjan algorithm to achieve scalable path-sensitive analysis, and a cache-based strategy to achieve efficient inter-procedural analysis. Our experiment results show that our approach can successfully detect all existing CVEs of such issues with a limited number of false positives. The analysis overhead ranges from 1.0% to 110.7% in comparison with the original compilation time. We further apply our tool to several real-world Rust crates and find 8 Rust crates involved with invalid memory deallocation issues."

> Wouldn't that be two columns?

Columnar databases can also have indices. If there is an index by date (or time) then you DB will know row range from the index and will read only price column within given row range. If there is no index by data it would be two columns, but it is still much less than a full row with many columns.

I had a very similar journey. Even after 10 years I sometimes still slip into existential despair, and the remedy is, as you said, a bit subtle: don’t outright ignore it, but also don’t attack it directly. No matter how hard you stare into the void, you will never see anything but darkness.

It’s a bit like happiness: if you pursue happiness directly, you will surely fail. Instead, pursue worthy goals and care for others, and happiness will take care of itself.

I also learned that, as you wrote, we can lean on human biology. If one asks, “Why should I wish to strive to make progress in life and keep living?” the a suitable answer is simply “Because I’m human and that’s how I’m wired.”
Android continues to be poor even today because implementations are so varied and often lowest common denominator / cheapest!

That said, if you admin a group of users, a surprising number do not care about security. Turn on google's advanced protection - you will get more complaints than compliments as an example at the extra annoyances it introduces.

Even for me, apple is now rediculous with its prompts for permissions. I've had to say yes 10+ times to get an apple watch setup. So the twitter mob messes things up by their "outrage" attacks. There should be one button, I'm OK with my apple devices tracking me (health, heart rate, sleep, steps etc etc). I wish the twitter mob would focus less on this sort of thing and more on the real bad actors (buying a TV, then it later starts tracking you, then starts pushing ads to you on your fully paid device).

One problem is just that google / apple etc make much better outrage targets, so I think we've got this weird distortion - lots of gaping holes, and then constant attacks against Apple / Google.
Which is why you need a killer demo. New ideas are great, pure research rocks. But new ways to solve real world problems derived from that research is the killer product IMO.

Slightly offtopic, but to separate services into monolith OR micro is a mistake, you need both simoultaneously:

You need the micro hot-deploy to iterate quickly but you also need to move certain generic parts from the micro to the monolith to increase leverage.

Put some semen in cryostorage [1] and get a vasectomy. ~$1000 all in, no oopsies, and your tissue quality is preserved at your age of storage (with a small risk of loss of storage over time).

The vasectomy alone is only a few hundred bucks (with insurance; without, max cost is $1500) if having kids isn’t your thing, and widely available. I recommend it to everyone who will listen (the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 is $233,610, per child [2]). Median lifetime earnings in the US are $1.7 million [3].

The GP's argument is that you don't have evidence that they didn't copy the whole function verbatim.

Is there a source that said they changed variable and function names and modified the logic?

> because it would seem that the original authors (among them Cleve Moler) don't have any issue with what transpired

Yet. Without an explicit license there is no basis to release it under the GPL (if the code was copied verbatim or had insufficient re-writing). What if the heirs of the copyright owner wanted to assert their rights? Is there a doctrine that if you don't assert your rights you lose them? (Presumably applies to trademarks, but I don't think this is the case for copyrights)

The second point is objectively wrong. PoW needs participants to spend capital in order to keep the organization running, thus not the rich get richer, but the more efficient get richer. PoS participants have no sell pressure and no way of being "better" than their peers, which is why it is incredibly broken.

In a PoW system you have fierce competition and the drive to the cheapest energy. Which today is stranded energy, that the market would never buy.

It is hard to estimate what percentage is truly renewable. The biggest source of energy was hydroelectric. It is estimated that during rain season the renewable percentage is up to 70%. However even if you look at the lowest estimate of renewable energy (~25%) you get double the percentage of the best country.

Bitcoin is the true solution to monetizing cheap energy production. It removes a large risk associated with investing in renewables as the network is a buyer of last resort. Thus you know that your energy always sees 100% usage (which is a big problem with grids today)

Just a small thought experiment. Lets assume you want to build a charging station for EVs powered by your own solar farm at a somewhat remote location. 4 hours of the day you have a peak consumption of 100 units, the rest you only have 80 units consumption. Moving energy over large distances is incredibly expensive. Having a buyer for your energy (Bitcoin network) means that the investment carries a lot less risk.
For those curious about dabrowski's models, take a look at his 'levels of consciousness'†, where he divides personal driving forces into three categories, which develop in order, if at all: base instincts, societal expectations, and a "third factor" of moral self-direction.

This model describes the repeated breakdowns ("disintegrations" in the form of neuroses) that are required to progress upwards ("positive disintegration") toward incorporating this third factor, resulting in a 'true personality' somewhat reminiscent of Maslow's 'self actualization'.

Suddenly, no. But they're not signaling intent to stop building them, either. If they're actively building now and saying they're going to build more, the logical conclusion is that they're going to build more over time.

And you're misdirecting. The U.S. doesn't get a pass. We're arguably one of the biggest targets that everyone points their fingers at (and domestically, shames its own population for relying on those energy sources).

My entire point is that the very things being obsessed over (solar and wind) are simply not feasible at the scale and capacities required to sustain our current civilization. The alternative is either nuclear, or significant population reduction (read: death, or, the logical conclusion of large swaths of humans either being denied access to energy or being priced out).

Like I've said elsewhere in this thread, the problem is less of a moral one and more of a mathematical one. E.g., the best solar panels only have a 20-23% effectiveness rate (https://archive.ph/wip/Vh1Qj). That means they cannot pull in ~80% of the solar power available. Batteries to supplement this mean more not less fossil fuels for production and mining of rare earth metals (and let's not even get into the human rights issues at those mines). Wind mills can't be built with windmill energy (and only work when the wind blows which is too varied to call reliable). Plain and simple: these alternative energy sources are not capable of replacing our existing energy needs wholesale without introducing significant chaos and likely, death.
The current work project[1] has all of these, with one substitution: Pyenv, Poetry, Pytest, pytest-cov with 100% branch coverage, pre-commit, Pylint rather than Flake8, Black, mypy (with a stricter configuration than recommended here), and finally isort. These are all super helpful.

There's also a simpler template repo[2] with almost all of these.

I don't use Twitter nor Instagram. I'm not a social media addict. I always can join my friends by phone. Or if I need to meet new people, I can easily find communication or get a gf at one of the top rated hookup sites (https://www.besthookup-sites.com/). So there is no need to join all those junk social media and stick there for a long time sorting someone's else garbage.
This mindset is awful. You don’t fix a problem by creating 5 more. This mindset creates bad code, kills people, and rots the planet.

I really can’t wrap my mind around someone suggesting a drug addiction (that leads to cancer) to remedy a mental disorder. It’s just plain malicious.

If somebody is opening their mind to help, you have a responsibility as someone of greater knowledge to steer them in the right direction, not take advantage of them.
This seems identical to futaba/chan-style "bumping" which is imo easily gamed without having some other variable (logarithmic time fall off or something) AND (has significant spam protection OR has significant moderation/user reporting system). It is usually paired with a post limit as well, so that eventually old conversations fall off and disappear and/or get archived.

I don’t think this benefit is unique to OLAP cubes. This is just generally the reason you have a data warehouse at all. The implementation is up to you but if you model the business process then you will be ready to answer questions that have not been asked.
Except with the kernel, you only have to be familiar with the system calls and you don't need a team of people just to run, maintain and upgrade the kernel.

The mach-o format supports a “fat binary” that contains multiple architectures and then the App Store can only deliver one of those architectures to a particular device. Bitcode lets Apple recompile a different architecture slice using this format. However, since this change is unrelated to the architecture it can’t take advantage of this format.
In which our hero presents a Perl 5 regex for parsing Perl 5 (and yes, it parses Perl 5 regexes correctly).

I haven’t used Perl in ages, but I discovered this recently and really enjoyed it. I have used Lisp frequently and so I know the power of macros. It is really nice to see other languages gain the same useful power, and it’s also inspiring to see the heroic efforts that it sometimes requires.
I'm very surprised by the reported cost to verification. One of the major reasons to move to a high level synthesis design strategy is to ensure equivalence between your models and RTL.

I have experience with C++ HLS and it has enabled massive reductions in verification time.

The point is the almost nobody thinks of the classics in racialised terms. Those white supremacists which the author is talking about are notably absent from the public discourse [1], they seem to be an incredibly rare species which gets an inordinate amount of attention given their rarity. That means that this author and others like him are the ones who are attempting to racialise the classics in the public discourse even if they claim to bring race into the discussion "to keep others from doing so" [2]. For most people the Romans are either the opponents of Asterix, something related to Julius Caesar or the predecessor to the Roman Catholic church.

So, yes, this is the motte from which he launches his missives.

[1] Do mind that white supremacist is a term which has an actual meaning, it is not just a label which can be stuck to people who you happen to disagree with. Richard Spencer is a white supremacist, Donald Trump is not a white supremacist - even if you do not agree with him.

[2] This is a well-worn tactic, used by "anti-racists" like Ibram Henry Rogers (who calls himself "Ibram X Kendi") who profess racism in order to fight racism, by groups like Antifa who look and act like blackshirts while claiming to be anti-fascists and by other activists.

Since everyone is pitching their own, I built https://github.com/fran-penedo/rssify, which started as a fork of https://github.com/h43z/rssify. The basic functionality is similar to Vinnl's: give it a URL and some selectors and it builds the RSS feed. From this, I added a few things: templates (if you want to subscribe to individual projects within a webpage, like fanfics in ao3), transforms (when the data is not quite the text of the DOM element), a flask server you can use to add new URLs you have a template for and update the feeds, and a userscript to add the current URL using the server.

That's actually a very interesting concept (although the word "dataome" is IMO a terrible descriptor) and one that is fun to explore.

I think that all endeavors of living organisms inherit the dynamic and balance seeking properties of the Darwinian phenomenon that gives rise to them, and I think that the fundamentals of it go largely over our heads. Exploring technology as an emergent phenomenon within a Darwinian system is very intriguing.
