As I recall, the most widely used term early on was "microcomputer", to distinguish the small home computers from the larger "minicomputers" (e.g. the DEC PDP-11 of blessed memory). The term "personal computer" was also in use, but the use of "PC" was not common until after the introduction of the IBM model 5150 (whose actual product name was the "IBM Personal Computer").

Since then, you might refer to any of a variety of machines as "personal computers", but "PCs" only meant "IBM PCs" (or later "IBM PC-compatible machines"). In other words, I would argue that the term "PC" derives specifically from the "IBM Personal Computer", and not generically from "personal computer".

Source: I was there. :-) I haven't done the research, but I bet if you did search through Byte and similar magazines of the time, you'd find plenty of supporting evidence. (I do have a memo cube from the early '80s with the slogan "Apple II -- The Personal Computer", but I suspect that was Apple Marketing trying to fight an ultimately losing battle.)

Are they developing this stuff in-house, or buying some technology "off the shelf" from a third party that provides these features?
Does that mean people should be rebooting their phones every week / day / hour?
You seem to be projecting onto me what you think I'm projecting. ;)

I didn't call it a stronghold. There are certain subreddits that were aligned. The donald before it moved, conspiracy, conservative, etc. You ever see the greatawakening subreddit where they were acting like Trump was giving secret messages in speeches and calling for executions?

If that exists on a site with leftism as a major demographic, what does it look like elsewhere? You're making my point for me.

BTW, one of the longest-running mods of conspiracy that finally got banned has admitted that they are a Russian national. Not that this means anything, but it's interesting that a subreddit could be dominated by an individual with such strong beliefs about politics in another country.

To give context, I'm very much what some people would mock as an "enlightened centrist" (I felt so sad when I realized this is bad?). I think much of the "hateful mistinformation" is actually more aligned torwards the left. I can't read a thread about pitbulls or my home state without people frothing at the mouth and acting like my dog should be put down today or that my state is an ISIS stronghold.

But consitutionally? If someone is being an asshole on your property, it's your right to kick them off.
I’ve switched away to Plotly a while ago. It matured a lot in the past year or two. It’s extremely easy to use and I’ve been holding presentations with it routinely. It’s worth a try.

I haven’t used matplotlib since! (over 2 years)
It's on my list to do just that. I want a two-column page with lots of "don't do this" examples in the left column and "do this instead" in the right column. You're quite correct: if it's possible to teach this at all, it would be through examples.
> I have a hard time imagining Cubs becoming democratic and the US not lifting the embargo.

You haven't paid much attention to US policy toward Latin America: favorable policy is driven by being a capitalism and pro-US geopolitical orientation together, not democracy.

> We were already moving toward Cuba under Obama and Cuba wasn’t showing any signs of privatizing.

Both Obama and Clinton made steps toward normalization; neither of those prices durable, and lots of Dems, even who agree on the policy, think those steps were bad politics that have hurt Dems, particularly in Florida. I think Biden would nevertheless be inclined to say least an initial opening toward an opening with Cuba in the event of a democratic transition. But domestic politics either going into or resulting from the outcome of the 2022 midterms might effect that significantly, especially in the event that a faction not favorable to the neoliberal capitalism and US geopolitical capitalism won, or seemed likely to win, in that democracy.
Because then they'd not be able to delete it as freely to avoid losing a lawsuit.
> That is, people feel like they can experience the emotions of a real friend, but without any of the obligations or real benefits of actual friendship.

You seem right to say it is not a case of AI falsely accusing someone based on pure randomness, but that is no reason to dismiss what happened here. The most troubling aspects are that SIS added what amounts to false information to its databases, fabricated multiple false cases against Bah, claimed to have evidence it did not have, used it to detain him and hand him over to the Paramus police for arrest (who failed in their own due diligence, partly on account of this false information), and then attempted to hide what it had done, including, apparently, destroying evidence - evidence against itself, not Bah.
The overhead of stream abstractions is negligible if your goal is security when processing arbitrary input files provided from a zero-trust environment.

In environments where you’re prioritizing performance I’d still argue streams are likely your best bet when the size of the file to be parsed is not a constant. You wouldn’t want to load 50 large files into ram on a server environment let alone a phone.

If your input buffer is a bunch of tiny 10 KB files and you trust them? Sure, load them into memory and access their indices on the stack. Make sure you reuse the buffer to avoid unnecessary allocations.

If you want parallel processing with zero-allocations then streams with an array pool for their backing buffer are the best bet.

Not loading arbitrary files into memory will always be safer than doing so.

As for decoding - I believe the functions for validating if an array of bytes is an image should be far removed from the decoding and presentation of those bytes to the frame buffer. You don’t need to decode a JPG to validate that a file is a JPG. It either conforms to the standard or it doesn’t; the pixel data is irrelevant.
If you read that link in the parent comment, you'll see that my comment was right about the lack of science evident in the WHO and CDC information (I'm usually several months ahead of the leftist narrative.)

Just more HN group think, enforced by dang.

The facts as of July 18, 2021:

1) The WHO head just reversed his opinion on the lab leak theory in a public statement:

Retraction starts @1:20

"WHO head: There was 'premature push' to rule out China's Covid-19 Wuhan lab leak link" - July 16, 2021

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZJHkM7lO7A

2) Fauci has admitted funding the Wuhan lab with no meaningful oversight. What he hasn't explained is why the NIH funneled the money through EcoHealth Alliance (Daszak) instead of government-to-government. Some media are calling Daszak "a cutout", meaning he was a link in a chai conspiring to hide the money trail since GoF was banned in the US, but pursued in WIV.

3) Fauci flip-flopped on when and how many masks to wear, so his advice was not guided by science.
Do you have a source for that? My understanding is that irrigation, fertization and genetic improvements are what increased yields per unit area. All mechanization does is reduce labor costs. I would love to know what exactly you think mechanization itself does to improve yields.
Um. Yes. Giving people more options to live their lives as they see fit, rather than forcing them to rely on the benevolence of a government, is indeed freedom. By definition. Please don't post in bad faith.
I have used Tesseract for OCRing Japanese vertical texts and while it does work fine most of the time (not good mind you, since it constantly mixes certain complex kanji, lack of advanced context awareness shows) after a bit of pre-processing (removing noise using threshold filtering, making characters darker, removing furigana), sometimes it simply breaks and produces a clear garbage. And page segmentation is not the only problem. I've wrote a custom algorithmic page segmentation (text from a page gets concatenated into a single "line") and Tesseract still breaks on certain inputs, removing several characters from the beginning of such text usually "fixes" this issue.
Most people are best served by the big vendor OCRs. In my experience Amazon’s works the best, followed closely by Microsoft and Google at a distant third.
If you have a iOS/iCloud/Google 0day, you will absolutely fetch tens of millions from it assuming it's the real deal (reliable, etc).

Google, on the other hand, regularly pays white-hats something like $100k for "arbitrary access to contents of any Gmail content".
My AT&T 3g flip phone was cut off yesterday morning. I got a text from AT&T at ~6am telling me that the device I was trying to activate was not supported. Sure enough I was unable to send or receive calls or texts. I knew about the Feb 2022 cut off date but its absolutely ridiculous that they would pull this ~8 months early.
White House's exact words were "we're flagging problematic posts FOR Facebook that spread disinformation". "FOR" is an important word.

On top of this, they have already threatened the companies during the hearings that if they don't take it down, then they will get actioned. Plus Biden even called social media companies murderers.

"Congressional Democrats have repeatedly made explicit threats to social-media giants if they failed to censor speech those lawmakers disfavored. In April 2019, Louisiana Rep. Cedric Richmond warned Facebook and Google that they had “better” restrict what he and his colleagues saw as harmful content or face regulation: “We’re going to make it swift, we’re going to make it strong, and we’re going to hold them very accountable.” New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler added: “Let’s see what happens by just pressuring them.”"

This is literally what makes them state actors. I don't know what more they need to do for you to prove they are state actors. There's also precedent from Supreme Court.

"For more than half a century courts have held that governmental threats can turn private conduct into state action. In Bantam Books v. Sullivan (1963), the Supreme Court found a First Amendment violation when a private bookseller stopped selling works state officials deemed “objectionable” after they sent him a veiled threat of prosecution. In Carlin Communications v. Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Co. (1987), the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found state action when an official induced a telephone company to stop carrying offensive content, again by threat of prosecution."

"As the Second Circuit held in Hammerhead Enterprises v. Brezenoff (1983), the test is whether “comments of a government official can reasonably be interpreted as intimating that some form of punishment or adverse regulatory action will follow the failure to accede to the official’s request.” Mr. Richmond’s comments, along with many others, easily meet that test. Notably, the Ninth Circuit held it didn’t matter whether the threats were the “real motivating force” behind the private party’s conduct; state action exists even if he “would have acted as he did independently.”

Note that the Connecticut learner's permit does have a photo ID on it - the article gets it wrong, as the complaint states that the learner's permit he had was actually a New York learner's permit[0].

However, on that note, does anyone have a photo of such permit? All Google images of 'learners permit new york' have photo IDs; the closest thing I can find is the post-test temporary full license[1], which doesn't include information like the person's height. The exhibit is also restricted on Pacer[2], likely because it contains PII.

No, those are managed in an entirely different way - they go into a queue and the software places them on the front page at fixed intervals.
That’s what I meant by evergreen webviews. I think you missed the point of what I was saying. There are not evergreen webviews cureently. They currently only update webviews on major OS releases. with windows 11 they will ship an evergreen webview for use by Teams and will abandon trident as well. it’s currently a react/electron app that will run in the OS webview on Windows instead of in Electron. This is precisely the reason MS is doing this. Slack was os-specific before evergreen webviews were a thing.

We have not yet seen all to come from these conspiracy nuts. Jan 6th was a beginning, "militias" are itching to shoot anyone to "defend their freedom". The fbi did their job for a number of the attacks I listed, or else the governor of Michigan and Virginia would be dead, and a military response would have had to kill dozens of "militia" members when the state arrests them.
My understanding is that on earth the two main carbon sinks are biomass and the oceans. I believe these sinks make up almost 100% of natural carbon sequestration. So it could be a big amount. I'd check the carbon cycle wiki article.
Part of me is baffled by the (based-on-my-experience) tremendous overlap of people who purport to be environmental conscious yet also buy loads of vinyl. As noted by The Guardian digital media is not much better though.

NSO seems to sell some high value and advanced exploits.
Has to be better than most of the other commercially available solution.

The scary part is that the US and Mossad would never allow
then to sell "state of the art".

Presumably, the US and Mossad are sitting on much better tools
than what NSO sells.

Also, presumably Mossad and the US are parts of this.

You get a "hostile" country to pay $$$$ to buy some exploits,
probably with a great a backdoor and data extraction built in.

From an intelligence standpoint its genius.

Reminds me of the Swiss CIA outfit selling "unbreakable encryption
systems" to various gangs, hostile actors and what not.
Allowing CIA access to all the data that was encrypted.

Multi-monitor setup has been a giant boost to my programming productivity.

I can simply keep the specification/documentation/stack overflow alongside editor/IDE window alongside debugger. If I had to put the benefit in words, I can offload the state of my programming session all on screen, instead of in my head, taking space where more of the abstract logic and relational graph can reside, before it gets turned into code.

On the other hand, it gets way easier to get distracted because you can keep a chat window on one side, constantly getting pinged.

In all honesty, what are we supposed to do? We are the problem… Often when I go into stores these days, I don’t think about what I would enjoy buying, or what I need to buy. I think about how every non-perishable item in the store will soon end up in a landfill somewhere. Then I think about all the other stores up and down the street full of stuff, and I wonder how we can have any chance of living sustainably. It’s overwhelming. We haven’t even identified the systems we need to transition to, to solve this existential crisis. And we aren’t having serious discussions about what to do either.

An interesting way to make sure you have revenue that doesn't disappear as wfh and remote learning slowly wraps up.
Because ZDI negotiate. As a bug bounty participant in the official programs, you aren't allowed to negotiate.

ZDI, on the other hand can say: "We want $10M for this iOS zero day, or we don't report it to you." And the process of negotiation goes back and forth, but the end result is, Apple will pay considerably more to ZDI than through the direct program.

Jamming GNSS is the next obvious choice. Low noise gyros and accelerometers needed for inertial guidance/dead reckoning over long distances are expensive.

This doesn't address how being able to vote has anything to do with it. You can't vote with the picture-included permanent learner's permit or a real driving license in New York either if you're under a certain age.

I'm totally aware legal definitions are pants on head absurd and the nature of precedent. While I'm aware we're not in a court of law, and these arguments would be unconvincing there, I'm arguing more from a layman's rhetorical front.

A legal system that allows common words to take on a contrary character from what the populace understands/speaks is fundamentally daft, and part of the reason all laws should have sunset dates and need to be replaced regularly by legislative dicta.

To not do so essentially creates the necessary preconditions for jargonic engineering.
Your answer doesn't address the question: "why do you get to use it to incriminate someone?"

But the point remains: if an ID card isn't considered valid for voting, then why should it be considered valid for identifying an individual for a crime? It is a valid ID (identification record) or it is not.

Maybe, but I, as a vaccinated person, I'm going to be salty about a mask mandate if it's the unvaccinated who are the source of the problem, and am liable to disregard it if there isn't effective enforcement.
That's a problem with corn, not with plants.

Or more helpfully, it's a problem with a plant experiencing temperatures outside its natural range. There's a huge difference between "the temperature here is too hot for plants to grow" and "the temperature here is too hot for cold-weather plants to grow".
I have been using syncthing across Mac, arm Linux, Linux, windows and android. Occasionally an Android release turns into a battery drain, but I haven't had an issue with mac (my Mac shares are about 70G). Could need a db wipe and reinitializing? I think their file watcher is native.
All of the night vision capable security cameras I've worked with had an IR filter that would engage when not in night mode. It would be really silly for a store to spend the money on a system like this and use cameras that don't have a filter.

I don't believe I am, though--you are, if I'm not mistaken, asserting that it's some prolific iniquitous undercurrent which these platforms are subtending in some manner. (Which would seem somewhat misleading to me, as your assertion that r/TheDonald moved was of their own volition, rather than a banning by the site.)

Any platform harboring content will, as a matter of course, simply through the caprice of a moderator, let slip by insane opinions--but opining that these are some growing tide and, more dangerously, representative of their moderate counterparts (a la the r/Conservative subreddit, which seems constituted of largely by-the-numbers right of centers,) seems disrespectful to all parties involved and serves only to distract from your central assertion that communicating these ideas will in some way seed wanton chaos. (Comparing the ideas directly to those that precipitated the tragedy of the Holocaust.)

Edit, as I'd written my reply to a previous version of your own:
I am sympathetic to the idea that seeing these more fringe ideals is unfortunate--but the argument which I believe bears greater importance is that acting in this manner against them, striking them from the whole of our public discourse and pre-empting any who could, in some way, divine inspiration from the muck is far more deleterious to discourse. It serves all too easily as a means to silence disquiet and cast a veneer of unanimity.
If I may interject with my boring sheep-person MSM-slave logic here, I think in all the confusion I missed the part where it became "very very very" obvious that Epstein was murdered, as opposed to the obvious Occam's razor explanation that he committed suicide.
