You’re not “framing the risk in terms of profit.” You’re talking about a set of equations in your head, that only you know, that come up with weird results like “it takes way more revenue to ‘offset’ an expense” because you’re holding “net” or “gross” or whatever margin constant. Which is really confusing and surprising and not how anyone I’ve ever met talks about this stuff, and they’d be equally puzzled and I don’t think would experience an illuminating or aha moment or whatever.

Personally I found it a little interesting, I get what you are going for, but it’s so strange and not really useful or true.

COL is ~1k per bedroom in zone 2/3. I'd say average compensation for "serious" IT positions is 50-70k, you can get to about 150k if you work for a hedge fund or in senior positions at large corporations, after that it's very difficult.

So yes, obviously less desirable than making 400k in SF, but as far as Europe goes it doesn't get much better anywhere else.
I like that my Xiaomi Max 2 from 2017 has a 3.5mm jack, can take an SD card, AND has an infrared port (and so works as a remote for my TV and DVD player).

Xiaomi, if you're listening, please continue to make at least one line of phone that has these features.
I’ve got the old Tech Nation one - about to finish year 5 next year. I hate the Home Office with all my passion though, £600 a year for this bullshit NHS surcharge is daylight robbery - a ridiculous charge invented by Theresa May to feed the Daily Mail and their braying hordes in 2015.

>An important correction on the Israel story. Half of “adults” infected in Israel were fully vaxxed, not half of all cases. About half of the total infections were kids. Means about 25% of infections were in fully vaxxed, and most if not all were reportedly asymptomatic infections

Even if it were true, with a high enough percentage of vaccinated citizens, the base-rate fallacy will ultimately make statements like yours misleading:

Since Scientific American was one of the first to push false articles (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/unprecedented-hea...) claiming the PNW heatwave was primarily caused by climate change, I’m sharing this analysis from a UW Professor who is considered to be the foremost expert on northwest climate, where he shows that the event was less due to climate change and more due to a rare mix of factors (a black swan event). In other posts he mentions the record breaking event would have taken place even without climate change, but that climate change contributed a few degrees to the peak temperatures. The attribution study he is critiquing itself claims this recent event was a 1 in 1000 years event even with climate change:

I think LLVM will still be required for release builds.

The sentence actually doesn't make sense mathematically:

1^8 - one to the power eight -is just one.

Giving a bit of leeway for a typo gives us a bit of confusion with the notation - it should be "10 to the power of something".

But 10^8 is still way too low.
That just 100,000,000.

I'm thinking 10^18 is still too low.

Thinking the brain's capacity is 10^15 is understandable, but probably too low.

From what I've seen of this type of research, a vulnerability like these may be worked on and some one will refine it to make it exploitable, so even if it's not possible to use it in it's current form, it's important to be aware to prevent future attacks.
Fine, then let people choose to be treated early on with Ivermectin or HCQ. Lets see what the results bear out.

It seems like it's a non-effective way of doing it. In large DOM trees you need to manually interfere to make them update fast because (1) building even the virtual DOM and (2) then comparing this to the real DOM become slow => i.e the "React way" doesn't actually scale. Perhaps for a product guy this doesn't matter, but for an engineer it just feels wrong. Why not solve the real problem?
If facts are time-constrained, then a statement that was at one point factual may stop being factual. I would still consider that to be an existence proof that "facts change".

You may want to put some temporal logic spin on it, if that makes you happier (technically, it makes me happier, but I am content with saying "facts can change"), but the question I was trying to answer was "do facts change". I think I demonstrated that what once was factual may stop being factual.
Well for your particular examples UWP is C++/C#/a few others but it has no direct c binding and iOS APIs are all defined for Objective-C and Swift so sure, you're not going to get far with a C compiler before you even start thinking about a c cross compiler.

If you want to cross compile C stuff e.g. a Win32 GUI app with Direct X or get OpenGL bindings for SDL though those all work just fine if you provide the SDK files same as you would compiling natively. The advantage being now you can do all builds from a single build instance just by feeding it the libraries and a target platform.

From what I understand Python uses reference counting, which is a type of garbage collection that allows you to have deterministic performance, almost no "pauses" but at the cost of performance.

One thing not mentioned in this article but that's on Github Copilots page is that they imagine it'll be useful for learning how to code.

I've done some teaching and my mental model for what is necessary to learn a language and, more generally, learning how to program and my view is that the rudimentary boilerplate-y type of stuff that this tool seems to excel at are mindless to most are essential for beginners as part of their learning.

Any educators here with different ideas or thoughts?
They do, to a degree. Modern implementations generally use hardcoded routines for very small numbers (say, up to 5), then some quadratic sort like insertion sort, then quicksort. The dispatching can happen at all levels of the recursion, so quicksort's leaves are actually optimized sorts for small collections.

The Steam Deck is as much Linux as Android is. The reason it will be a better gaming platform is because the users that will buy it will be rich, whereas that is not true generally of Android. This is just my perspective, but it should also inform you why it has no impact on software vendors to make professional software for Android, which makes hundreds of millions of Linux gamers, because an iPad too is a much more expensive device despite lower market share and hence worthwhile to target.
As I understand System76 doesn’t actually do much with their own hardware but instead repackages ones made by Clevo, an OEM manufacturer whose models can be found under many different brands (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clevo).
This is true. When OS X appeared, many lost interest in Linux. In so many places, only Apple laptops were seen in the laps of developers, for about a decade.

Nowadays, this has changed and Linux is interesting again. In fact, it can be argued it is the opposite. OSX has stagnated and it is no longer interesting.
I heard the original one was rolled and smoked, so they had to start again. Hence the current constitution.
Another manufacturer that supports relocking the bootloader with a custom key is OnePlus:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-re-locking-the-boot...

None of the operating systems that are designed to be used with a relocked bootloader (e.g. CalyxOS, GrapheneOS, RattlesnakeOS) support OnePlus phones at the moment, so you'll need to build LineageOS, AOSP, or some other Android variant manually to use it on a OnePlus phone with a relocked bootloader.

There might be more device models with this kind of support. Search for "avb_custom_key" with the model name to see whether anyone has commented on this.

It's not that cut and dry, ethics and legality are a concern for a lot of researchers such as myself that sell zerodays. In my experience the actual price difference between unethical and ethical outlets is up to 4x, not two orders of magnitude (10K vs 1M?). I can't speak for everyone of course, but even the other researchers I know refuse to sell to unethical buyers, money isn't a factor.

iMessage doesn't share private keys between devices. Each device has its own secret key, and when you send a message to a person with multiple devices, you encrypt multiple copies, one for each (source: https://support.apple.com/guide/security/how-imessage-sends-...)

An issue here is that the software doesn't show the user the list of keys used to encrypt a given message. If an attacker can inject their own keys into the identity service records for a given user, they would then receive a copy of all messages sent to that user.
NSO said that even if Pineda’s phone had been targeted, it did not mean data collected from his phone contributed in any way to his death...

NSO are clearly concerned about any such claims sticking.

Shared and joint liability for such consequences of software and tools strikes me as one of the more viable ways of limiting their over development.

Finding a firm, its officers, its engineers, its salespeople, its investors, and its creditors culpable for assassinations and murders would tend to dampen enthusiasm significantly. That's not enough to utterly quash development, but it makes it far more expensive and unattractive.

I don't have high hopes for this. But one may dream.

I think Zig does cross compilation (ignoring for the moment, projects with C dependencies) better because it comes out-of-the-box with the libraries and headers needed to target a lot of systems. In Rust, you typically get additional toolchains via rustup, whereas Zig works on all of the targets with a single install.

That's my takeaway here as well - no serious issues found, and Telegram actively worked with them to fix their minor theoretical issues, and did all of the fixes before the paper was published and without breaking any clients.
Thanks, these extra details are helpful and seem like the more significant motivations underlying this distribution.

> For reasons that are not yet clear, significant memory savings are only achieved with Jemalloc 3, not with Jemalloc 5.

So the real advantage of this package is that it bundles a 6+ year-old, unsupported version of Jemalloc, because the more recent versions found in current OS distributions don't yield memory savings in practice- for unknown reasons. This doesn't instill very much confidence.

I would be much more excited by efforts to investigate the jemalloc > 3.x changes so Ruby can work optimally with current releases packaged in modern Linux distributions, rather than double-down on a workaround that requires bundling an increasingly-ancient version of the software.

I should also add - as mentioned by the jemalloc author [1], the addition of the time-based purging feature is likely responsible for memory-usage differences between jemalloc 3.x and 5.x, so you can reduce `dirty_decay_ms` and `muzzy_decay_ms` to get 3.x-like memory usage. I have been using this configuration in production since 2018 for significant memory savings in Ruby using jemalloc 5.x.

Fwiw, I started a chat conversion with Amazon's support team and expressed my disapproval. They acknowledged the feedback and claimed they would pass along my concerns.

If you feel similarly, may be worth letting Amazon know.
Old-school techniques were hard to pull off even by trained spies with a proper (and vast) support network, let alone by journalists and John Rando who have never met. If you're on a watch list that gets your phone flagged for malware then it's not a stretch to assume that you can also be physically watched. And meeting in person with journalists or sources while being under surveillance is like painting a target on your back.

And that's before considering that a journalist would never have a realistic chance to meet potential sources under repressive regimes on the other side of the world, certainly not a useful number.

Computers and encryption made this kind of covert communication far more accessible to the laymen. Anything that sets that back just deters people from even trying and this is exactly the chilling effect those oppressive regimes are looking for.
Personally it's very convenient for me, because I never have to opt out of anything. Nothing bad has ever happened to me and as a person who knows how the targeted ads business works, I'm confident in saying that nothing ever will. It's seriously liberating and worth considering.

The scientist in question is warning against INDIVIDUALS mixing and matching, and saying public health agencies should make the decision.

Which makes sense because while there is no evidence against mixing and matching, there is not very strong evidence in favor either.

So the mix and match should only be done at the guidance of a public health agency which might, for example, recognize that due to a constraint in the supply of Moderna doses, they may be better off taking the slight risk that mixing might cause some issues in a small number of people (again there is no evidence that this is the case), than the much greater risk caused by a large percentage of the population not being fully vaccinated.

The CDC therefore does not recommend mixing because over the past few months the US has acquired enough doses to vaccinate everybody in the country which is not the case for all but a handful of other countries.
